To support Cisco Aironet 600 Series OfficeExtend APs, two Layer 2 security options that are supported in this environment are Static WEP and 802.1X.
Static WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a security protocol that encrypts data on wireless networks. It uses a pre-shared key (PSK) that is manually entered into the access point and client devices. Static WEP is considered the weakest form of wireless security and should only be used as a last resort.
802.1X is an IEEE standard that provides port-based network access control. It is a security protocol used in conjunction with an authentication server (such as a RADIUS server) to authenticate wireless clients. When a client device attempts to connect to a wireless network, it is prompted to enter its credentials. These credentials are then sent to the authentication server for verification. Once the server has verified the client's credentials, the client is granted access to the network.
WPA+WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access) is a security protocol that provides stronger security than WEP. WPA+WPA2 uses a PSK or a RADIUS server to authenticate clients and encrypts data using a dynamically generated key.
CKIP ( Cisco Key Integrity Protocol) is a proprietary security protocol developed by Cisco. It provides a higher level of security than WEP but is not as strong as WPA or WPA2. CKIP uses a PSK and dynamically changes the key at regular intervals to provide greater security.
Therefore, the correct answers to this question are Static WEP and 802.1X.
